CJ7

Devilishly entertaining! The movie has a heart, a mind and a gentleness of spirit that parents will welcome!
-Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES
A hyperactive, wishful-thinking special effects fantasy!
-Maggie Lee, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
Chows new movie CJ7 confirms that he deserves the recognition once given great movie artists... graceful, buoyant and satisfying!
-Armand White, NEW YORK PRESS
It is safe to say that no one makes movies quite like Hong Kong-s clown impresario Stephen Chow.

Synopsis

From Stephen Chow, the director and star of Kung Fu Hustle, comes CJ7, a new comedy. Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jian) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father's good intentions, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the "cool" toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can't afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky - the junk yard! While out "shopping" for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre "pet" with extraordinary powers. Armed with his "CJ7" Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life. But CJ7 has other ideas.
